Graffiti refers to the messages engraved on the floors in NetHack either by shopkeepers ("Closed for Inventory") or on a random basis. These messages are often helpful tips, but sometimes are silly.
Graves have their own random epitaphs.
Random Messages
Graffiti messages can be taken from rumors.tru or rumors.fal, or can be one of the following additional messages:[1]
Elbereth Vlad was here ad aerarium Owlbreath Galadriel Kilroy was here A.S. -> <- A.S. You won't get it up the steps Lasciate ogni speranza o voi ch'entrate. Well Come We apologize for the inconvenience. See you next Wednesday notary sojak For a good time call 8?7-5309 Please don't feed the animals. Madam, in Eden, I'm Adam. Two thumbs up! Hello, World! You've got mail! As if!
Some of these messages can be confusing: “Elbereth” can also indicate a bones level, and “ad aerarium” can also indicate a vault teleporter. However, random messages appear as though written with a magic marker, whereas vault messages are always written in the dust,[2] and player-written Elbereth engravings rarely come from markers.
The line "Lasciate ogni speranza o voi ch'entrate" means "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" and is a reference to Dante's Inferno.
